Migration causes European Union to disintegrate 

If we are forced to combine forces on issues which we disagree on, that will cause the European Union to disintegrate. Migration is an issue that causes disintegration, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in Italy at the Cernobbio Forum held this year for the 50^th time. 

“Why do we need it?” the Prime Minister asked. He said it is a serious problem that in Italy and in many other countries, there is an issue with the fact that many migrants have been let in and now finding a way to live together with them is causing difficulties. 

“However, there are countries which have never set out on this path. We have never let them in, and so in our country there are no migrants at all, zero,” Mr Orbán stated.

He stressed that for us the problem was not how to live together with them, but how not to let them into our country. These are two different issues, and the two different difficulties cannot be addressed with the same political means.

Meaning that in the context of migration, it would be much better if the countries which do not wish to follow the common migration policy were granted an opt-out. It would be much better to offer them the possibility of an opt-out than forcing them to combine forces with others, leading to conflicts which would cause the entire European structure to disintegrate, Mr Orbán said.
